start a processInstance with a certain user

pamasoft

I want to start a process instance with the Java API method 'startProcessInstanceById(String processDefinitionId)'in the RuntimeService interface and I want the 'starter' to be set to a certain userId.
Just calling the method directly gives the 'starter' user set to 'anonymous'.

Any ideas?

I am using Activiti - Engine 5.14 API
(Java 1.7, Ubuntu 12.04)

Hi,

you can set authenticated user.

<br>&nbsp; private String startProcessAsUser(String processId, String userId) {<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; try {<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; identityService.setAuthenticatedUserId(userId);<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; return runtimeService.startProcessInstanceByKey(processId).getId();<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; }<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; finally {<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; identityService.setAuthenticatedUserId(null);<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; }<br>&nbsp; }<br>
